So with the game titan fall coming out I thought about possibly getting a dreadknight and converting it a bit to make a mech that looks like its from titan fall.

So I was wondering if there was any type of way to give the DK and enclosed cockpit, and if there was a way to possibly convert it to hold a rifle type of weapon?

Thanks for any help!

During the initial wave of "baby carrier" hate, I saw a few types of cockpit enclosure conversions emerge. The first involved slapping a cut down IG Sentinel cab onto the chest, turning it into a more humanoid mini-Warhound. The second method was to turn it into a giant Dreadnought, using either Dread or Venenerable Dread parts (depending on whether you wanted to see a pilot's head) in place of the dangling pilot. You can see an example of the first style here and this thread on B&C has examples of the second.

Unfortunately, neither looks like it'll get you particularly close to a Titanfall mech. Breaking out the styrene and putty might be your best option. As evidenced by Dakka's own heavybolter in this thread, you can pretty drastically change the feel of the kit by reworking the chest area (obviously, he went a bit further than just that ).

Oh wow both are great pics, It seems like most cockpits are either using sentinel or dreadnaught but I will have to look and see if there are any other methods.

Any tips on converting a rifle type of arm?
